RIP Henry Collier
The NSW Gay and Lesbian Rights Lobby are saddened by the news that Henry
Collier, an ex-Committee member, passed away last week. Henry was the Treas-
urer of the GLRL Committee from 1993 -- 1998. Henry was also a very active
member of our community who fought for equality and social justice for the
LGBT community in any way he could. On behalf of the GLRL Committee
of Management, we would like to send our condolences to Henry's family and
friends, and would like to thank him for his valuable contributions to our com-
munity.

Bound for glory
I read recently in LOTL that Avalon Media is going to launch a new international
magazine for the newsstand called BOUND. Isn't this fantastic news - in this en-
vironment we ﬁnd ourselves in we ﬁnd a company that is going against the trend
and actually believing in themselves and the product that they have designed to
provide to the market. Let us support them as they have supported us!!!

I would like to send my congratulations to Merryn and Silke on the birth of their
new magazine BOUND. I look forward to reading this latest effort and trust that
under Merryn's stewardship this new publication will grow to become as much
a part of the lesbian landscape as LOTL is today.
Good luck with it all!

new collaboration.

King fan
Thanks so much for the story on Lea Haines aka Mighty Max. She/he is one of
my favourite kings on the local scene and it was awesome to read that she may
even be looking for other kings to team up with as an act. Even though I've not
had the courage to get up on stage yet, I hope that one day soon I will have the
guts to do it. And it was great to know Lea might be there to give a helping hand
when I try.
If I were a king, Newtown
